viewing the summer in high resolution

       Well now that I'm home I've started to make some resolutions for how I'll spend my time.  I've already gotten a new job (YAY FOR ME) and have started babysitting.  Other than that, here are my summer plans as told by these fabulous pictures from Pinterest.... 

I will not be seeing any palm trees, but I live by the beach and will totally be going to the beach this summer more frequently because I think I may have...wait for it....DAYS OFF!

Ok, so my goal is to read Gone with the Wind, among other things.  I've always hoped to read this book but it is 733 pages, quite large and with tiny print.  We'll see if that happens. And I also found a new coffee shop in Bellmore called The Bean (que mono!!!) and I'll be going there!

maybe I'll do this....nope

I'm looking forward to relaxing, reading, knitting, and enjoying being home.  So far I've kept with this resolution

I'm pretty tan from the one beach day in Lisbon, but I'm definitely gonna go to the beach more with my cousin! I'm soo excited

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go to a used bag sale in the Hamptons this year with my cousin and her friend.  I'm really looking forward to this and you can get designer bags for super SUPER cheap!

And while I'm happy to be home during the summer time, I'm still missing SMC since I haven't been there since december.  I've already packed all of my things for school next year and packed most of my clothes.... I know, CRAZY!!

     Well, as Winnie the Pooh said, "How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard."  It is gonna be so hard to graduate, but I'm legitimately excited for my life after college!

Home again

Well here I am back in the USA, happy to be home again with my family and dogs, but am totally missing Esther and all of my new friends in Spain.  Here is a picture of the FAMOUS Esther that you've heard so much about:

I Lost my heart in Lisbon

This past weekend I went to Lisbon on my last little trip before leaving Europe.  I went from Friday morning until Monday morning with my friend Jeanine.  We had a fantastic time and I truly loved that city with all of my heart.  I wish I could live there and am definitely gonna look into some things to do there in the future! Here are some pictures of my trip:

Carbs, Carbs, Carbs...and more Carbs

     Or that is pasta, pizza, bread, gelato, and cheese and lots of it.  This past Wednesday (April 24) I flew away to Rome with 2 classmates and a professor.  It was a class trip (Origins of Judaism) and we were going to tour the ruins of Rome! It was an incredible trip and I formed such good friendships from it that I wish it never ended!!!! Here are some pictures:
